In an official order signed by DMP Commissioner Mosleh Uddin Ahmed on Wednesday, 16 September, DC Tanvir was instructed to hand over his charge to the next senior officer and report directly to DMP Headquarters until further notice. The directive cited administrative reasons for his immediate attachment to headquarters.

The disciplinary measure follows the earlier withdrawal of the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Gulshan Model Station, Md. Daud Hossain, on the same day. According to the administrative order issued earlier on Wednesday, OC Hossain was closed to the Central Reserve Office of the DMP Headquarters and Administration Division. The dual removal of senior officers highlights growing scrutiny over security lapses in one of the capital’s most high-profile diplomatic districts.

The swift administrative reshuffle stems from an incident on Friday, 11 September, when members of the banned political outfit gathered near the KFC restaurant on Road 3 in Gulshan around 11:45 am. As police officers moved in to disperse the unauthorized rally, demonstrators threw crude bombs at the forces. Law enforcement personnel arrested two suspects on the spot and recovered five unexploded crude bombs. Subsequent law enforcement drives across various areas have led to the arrest of at least 75 individuals linked to the demonstration.

Speaking at an event at the Secretariat on Tuesday, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmad disclosed that intelligence agencies had previously flagged the possibility of political activity in Gulshan. However, local police failed to anticipate that demonstrators would assemble under the guise of attending Friday afternoon prayers. He noted that individuals began gathering around 11:00 am, ostensibly for Jummah prayers, before forming the march, adding that law enforcement agencies took prompt legal action against those involved once the rally began.
